On Liouville forms

Paulette Libermann — 2000

Banach Center Publications

We give different notions of Liouville forms, generalized Liouville forms and vertical Liouville forms with respect to a locally trivial fibration π:E → M. These notions are linked with those of semi-basic forms and vertical forms. We study the infinitesimal automorphisms of these forms; we also investigate the relations with momentum maps.

Charles Ehresmann's concepts in differential geometry

Paulette Libermann — 2007

Banach Center Publications

We outline some of the tools C. Ehresmann introduced in Differential Geometry (fiber bundles, connections, jets, groupoids, pseudogroups). We emphasize two aspects of C. Ehresmann's works: use of Cartan notations for the theory of connections and semi-holonomic jets.

Lie algebroids and mechanics

Paulette Libermann — 1996

Archivum Mathematicum

We give a formulation of certain types of mechanical systems using the structure of groupoid of the tangent and cotangent bundles to the configuration manifold M ; the set of units is the zero section identified with the manifold M . We study the Legendre transformation on Lie algebroids.
